New Museum Project

As at March 2014, all expenses related to the New Museum Project will be paid directly by DCA and accounted as work in progress for the New Museum Project. At the end of the project, the asset will be transferred into the WA Museum’s accounting records. This means that there will be minimal net expenditure which relates to the New Museum Project in Museum accounting records in 2014–15 and onwards, until the project’s completion in 2020.
